The Board approved 2025-26 general-fund and food-service budget amendments at its June 8 budget hearing.
Policy process
Spring policy updates received a first reading in April and approval after a second reading in May.
Open vacancy
The Board interviewed applicants in May and appointed Lissa Geglio-Weidenfeller at a May 14 special meeting.
The available archive does not provide a complete trailing-12-month set of minutes, so this overview does not describe activity outside the collected January-to-September period.
